UFO UpdateAnonymous low-level informants have for years accused the U.S. governmentof hiding crashed UFOs. Since these sources are of uncertain reliability,the reports have been largely ignored. Now, however, ufologists mustconsider the testimony of Robert Sarbacher, whose entry in WHO'S WHOconsists of more than 3 inches of tiny print, including education atPrinceton and Harvard and a stint as dean of the graduate school of theGeorgia Institute of Technology. In the years after WWII, the story goes,Sarbacher served as a science consultant for the Defense Department'sJoint Research and Development Board. He was in his Washington office onSeptember 15, 1950, it seems, when he received a visit from Canadianelectrical engineer Wilbert B. Smith. According to information releasedby Smith just recently, it was then that Sarbacher revealed the existenceof crashed UFOs, apparently under investigation by Vannevar Bush, thegovernment's top scientist.In a recent interview, Sarbacher, now head of the Washington Institute ofTechnology, confirmed those remarks. He says that during his period ofgovernment service as one of a number of government scientists who servedlargely as volunteers, he was told that the vehicles were composed of an"extremely light and very tough" material, apparently intended towithstand tremendous acceleration and deceleration. At one point,Sarbacher says, he was even invited to a meeting at Wright Patterson AirForce Base in Dayton, Ohio, where officials related their findings toscientists connected with the Research and Development Board. Sarbacherhad other commitments and did not attend the meeting, but he says thatthose who did, including Bush and noted mathematician John von Neumann,were told that the vehicles appeared to be spaceships from another solarsystem.Asked about his reaction to the episode, Sarbacher seems oddly blase. Headmits he hasn't given much thought to a matter most people would considerextraordinary -- he considers it simply a curious event in the course of along scientific career. "After all," he says, "I had -- and have -- agreat many more pressing scientific responsibilities. I wish I couldrefer you to someone who was more directly involved than I was," he adds."Unfortunately, they're all long gone."Writer William Moore, who has been chasing government UFO secrets foryears, considers Sarbacher's testimony significant. "It's the first timesomeone with a reputation has come forward to state publicly that thePentagon has a recovered UFO," he says. "This isn't proof, of course, butit fits in with information we have from other sources." Informed of theseclaims, Temple University history professor David M. Jacobs, author ofTHE UFO CONTROVERSY IN AMERICA, admits Sarbacher's credentials areimpressive but observes, "Until somebody can produce an actual crashedsaucer, this is hearsay evidence. And how can he talk so casually aboutsomething that would have to be the most sensational event in all ofhistory?"
